Top 10 podcasts

The Internet's a noisy place, with media giants and bedroom pundits alike broadcasting their thoughts on anything from the meaning of life to the price of fish. But who's worth a listen? Our counterparts at PC Advisor (UK) have compiled a list of some of the slickest, funniest and most knowledgeable podcasts nominated by their readers.

Mark Kermode

Recommended by: Miss Tech

This archive of Kermode's witty and informed film reviews deservedly received multiple recommendations.

Miss Tech summed up the general feeling: "Mark Kermode is knowledgeable, incisive and opinionated. While I'm no film buff by any stretch of the imagination, I always feel I've learned something."

Gnooze

Recommended by: alan14

Multitalented actress, comedienne and news reporter Marta Costello presents Gnooze, a current-affairs podcast that combines juvenile impersonations and razor-sharp satire with aplomb. It's strictly a video show, but the visuals are limited to a talking head and the odd graphic effect, so we've allowed it.

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
